We are currently laying out the new section of trail that we want to build. We should have it done in time for the event. More than likely, it would be open for preride the 2 weekends prior to the event.

I will keep you all posted. Also, I will let you all know when we will have trail build days.....if any of you are interested in helping out.

Thanks

I'm definitely interested. Much like the Cytomax was to regular racing, so I expect this one to be to 24 hr. racing--a good intro.

Don't think I'm particularly "good" or "strong," but the "rider" part I've got covered. I'm just interested in the experience, and have no delusions of making a decent showing. Any other like minded folks out there? Let's make a team of it.

Ever since our fun on Los Pinos, I switched to a Specialized Roll-X 2.0 UST. I've had no issues and I like the roll. I was running a Larsen rear and it just wears out too fast.

i have found that there is nothing that matches the experience of a 24hr event! for me, its not how well i do, its the "out of body" experience that you push yourself to! its amazing what the human body can do! IM HOOKED on these endurance events!

[ECOdork]

That's what convinced me to do it. An ex-racer buddy of mine said if I thought the MTB classic was a good time to try a 24 hour! A great experience and it really gets the mind wandering!

Maybe we'll even have enough peeps to form 2+ teams!

if you wanna do well at a 24hr event try to find a mechanic,someone that will setup the camp,clean the bikes BEFORE your lap,and even cookand prepare food.it's the little things that make it a winning team.
